Modern Architecture

Modern Architecture is an architectural style in which innovative construction technologies determine the design and shape of buildings, and form prevails over ornament. Modern architectural style is a rational interweaving of possibilities of modern technologies with unusual and sometimes eccentric forms of buildings.
